# Baker completes Reading move

Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker has completed his loan move to Reading until the end of the season.

Baker was on loan to Leeds for the first half of this season, but had his deal cut short due to a lack of game time.

The midfielder only started two Championship matches and struggled to impress manager Marcelo Bielsa, with Leeds currently sat top of the Championship.

He now joins Reading, who are in the relegation zone, as they look to avoid the drop this season.

Baker spent last season on loan to Middlesbrough in the Championship and only managed six starts, so he will be hoping he can get regular minutes under his belt in Berkshire.
